Interest and Info on the Carolinas

Hello Carolina Board!

I have ALWAYS wanted to come and visit North Carolina (I hear ya'll have accents... I have a thing for accents hehe) but since I have never even visited the East Coast, I am left a bit naive on areas to stay, areas to avoid, popular cities, not so popular cities, etc. etc. I am completely clueless.

Is there interest? Any other info would be appreciated!

I would value both the ladies & gentlemen advice

xoxo Kourt
